Build a Healthier Smile at Home with Expert Guidance and Tailored Care Plans
A healthy smile is highly dependent on what happens between visits to see us. Good oral care habits can be established by anyone committed to carving a few minutes out each day to make it happen. Like regular exercise, consistency builds on previous efforts to enhance your health. At least two brief sessions of brushing and cleaning between your teeth daily set a foundation for optimum health.
With so many products available to consumers today, your hygienist serves as a personal trainer when it comes to dental home care. My Dentist for Life of Plantation will quickly narrow down the endless options and form a plan that fits you. Would a Water pik make more sense and reach deeper than floss for your condition? Should you use a prescription toothpaste due to the high risk of a reduced saliva condition? Many factors fit into a plan that makes your time and effort work for you.

General At-Home Care Tips
Maintaining your oral health at home is essential for a bright smile and healthy teeth. Here are some general tips to help you keep your teeth and gums in top condition:
Brush Twice a Day: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to brush your teeth for at least two minutes, morning and night.
Floss Daily: Flossing removes plaque and food particles between teeth where your toothbrush can’t reach.
Use Mouthwash: An antimicrobial or fluoride mouthwash can help reduce plaque, prevent cavities, and freshen your breath.
Eat a Balanced Diet: Limit sugary snacks and drinks, and include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and calcium-rich foods in your diet.
Regular Dental Checkups: Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and checkups to prevent issues before they start.
